Seize the pay

Article Abstract:

Australian Prime Minister John Howard is considering legislation that would legalize the seizure of assets for large-scale drug dealers based on reasonable doubt. These seizures would be independent of any criminal charges, and would take place if drug dealers could not prove they had acquired the financing for the property with legitimate sources of income. Selling illegal drugs in Australia generates billions of dollars every year, with an estimated $3.5 bil laundered.

Rank reform

Article Abstract:

The new scheme to buy back taxi plates in Australia, supported by a government fund, will remove the huge cost of reformation from state budgets, and offers the long-awaited opportunity to increase taxi numbers and possibly reduce fares. While, the new scheme caused alarm among the state taxi industries, 70 percent of the plate lease drivers supported the new idea.
